I don’t really think of myself as brave. Rather, I am a big chicken. You won’t find me on roller coasters. I would much rather view a mountain from the ground rather than climb it. My oldest daughter who loves to climb trees, asked me if I climbed trees as a kid. My answer to that was, “Nope.” There is a different kind of bravery though. The bravery that it takes to just show up. The bravery to lay my agenda at Jesus’s feet, and ask Him to use me to love others today. My kids and I were talking about Matthew 5:14. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” My son said that he learned in Sunday school, that Jesus is the light, and we are the mirrors. I want to lay me down, and be a mirror of the light and love of God.
